Pics around town

My friend Renee recently inspired me when she started the Rochester Daily Photo blog. So, last Saturday I took a drive down Goodman Street heading towards the Memorial Art Gallery looking for some 'urban' shots, which is an area of photography I've never delved into before. Here are some shots from the day.

This is the facade of 320 North Goodman Street, just before Village Gate heading south from Main Street. The colors were intriguing.


Having made it to the Gallery, I took this shot of the reflection of University Avenue in the windows of the main building.


This is one outside the store. The architecture is classic and ceiling painting is beautiful.


A next-door neighbor of the Art Gallery is the School of the Arts.


And finally, a small amount of HDR processing was used on this one to bring out the details of residences along University Avenue.

One more holiday image

Okay, I was feeling guilty for leaving out a picture of the white lasagna from my previous post. Sue wouldn't appreciate that, so here it is.




It's popularity seems to grow every year. I almost don't mind that Sue doesn't like red sauce. This has been a nice addition to Christmas dinner. And it's a lot easier than stuffing manicotti!

More holiday images

Oh yeah, more fun at the holidays. My girls aren't big on having their images posted online, but they did let me post this one. Can you tell who is who?



Ryan on the other hand, doesn't much mind having his picture posted at all. Here he is donning his antlers and getting ready for a head-butt!



And of course, what would a holiday be without great food? I have to make lasagna every year, both red and white versions. Here's the red version. It's a handful!



And of course, some sweets...



I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
